  1. Gap between program windows and taskbar

    You can see Spotify, in a maximised window or what it's called, then a little few pixels of Discord, which weirdly is the only thing that actually manages to reach the taskbar, and then the taskbar. Discord is not the cause, if i turn it off, all that's visible between any program and the taskbar is my wallpaper. Help would be appreciated since it's across the entire screen and quite annoying. Thanks!

    Gap in Taskbar?

    It usually takes a little while, but at some point this little gap in the taskbar appears and the only way I've ever managed to get rid of it is doing a full reinstall of Windows. Then its usually gone for little while (weeks to months) but then will come back again. Sometimes its not a gap and its a second arrow, but one that cannot be clicked.

    Any ideas? I've done an SFC and disabled some of the programs that load on startup. No change. Sometimes restarting explorer.exe works, and sometimes it doesn't.

    Its there as soon as the desktop appears.

    This is an issue I also had in Windows 7 before I upgraded to Windows 10 (clean install)

    I have exactly the same issue. Win 10 home 64bit. using the stock theme

    I have no idea how to fix what causes it but I managed to figure out that its an un-named toolbar. if you right click on your taskbar and go to toolbars you will see a blank line under desktop as per this photo.

    click this blank line and the gap will disappear. it will come back again at some point, I don't know how or why but this is easier than a reinstall.

    Hope this helps and someone more knowledgeable than me can find a root cause for it.

  4. Gap between program windows and taskbar

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
